A blast from the past and wonderful to be back at the European Parliament for an inspiring gathering of youth leaders.
With all the focus on the challenges in the world it's important to remember that there is so much good in this world with people working every day to make a positive difference.
Honoured to be working again at the United Nations serving as a Consultant at the UN Environment Programme in Paris.
Over the coming months, I will be working to improve knowledge exchange and help communicate ideas and action towards SDG 12 - Sustainable Consumption and Production.
Working at the UN really is the stuff of dreams and I am so incredibly fortunate to have the opportunity to do so twice now, I look forward to making the most of it!

15 years of prison.
This is how the regime “rewarded” my work for democratic changes in Belarus.
But today I don't think about my own sentence. I think about thousands of innocents, detained & sentenced to real prison terms.
I won't stop until each of them is released.

"I don't think our children and grandchildren will forgive us if we don't have pandemic agreement which helps to address the mistakes we have made during this one"
Excited to announce that I have relocated to Paris where I am joining #UNESCO as a Communications Officer for the Whitaker Peace & Development Initiative.
It's an honour to work at the United Nations and to join this incredible initiative founded by artist, activist, and UNESCO Special Envoy for #Peace and Reconciliation, Forest Whitaker to empower young people, children, and residents of communities affected by violence & war.

Is there any other city in the world whose downtown is buffered by parks on all four sides than Adelaide? Fascinating.

A great way for @[email protected] to demonstrate that #HS2 is not just for business passengers would be to commit to family-friendly trains, including space for prams.

Next summer there will be long periods of extremely hot weather.
But many streets in Brussel still look like deserts of asphalt and parked cars (while there is place for an entire forest! 🌳)
Climate change is going to come fast now. Brussels is way too slow. #ClimateEmergency

I had no money growing up. My dad was a labourer and my mum did everything to make ends meet. Men worked hard. Women worked miracles. But education was free. As was the local library. I knew books were my passport to a better life. #SupportLibraries
